I can't give you a reference cause I'm not into the Arma side of things here at Ahoy World. However I am a QA Engineer/Tester so I can give you some things to look into for your CV or Interview. Here's a few keywords they'll be looking out for:
 
Types of testingAcceptance testing Automated testing Accessibility testing Black-box testing Compatibility testing Component testing End-to-end testing Exploratory testing Functional testing Integration testing Load testing  Non-functional testing Performance testing Regression testing Requirements testing Sanity testing Security testing Unit testing (usually a dev's job not tester but worth knowing about) Usability testingtesting, testing, and more testing Development methodologiesWaterfall RAD Agile (Strongly recomend reading into this, no doubt Rockstar will be running there development with this process or a variant of it) V-model based frameworks Testing toolsBug tracker: This may seem like an obvious one but look into different bug tracking tools like Jira, HP Quality Center, IBM Rational Quality Manager Test execution tools Automation tools Performance testing tools Security testing tools Testing methodsBoundary value analysis: A test design technique where test cases are designed based on boundary values Decision tables Data-driven: A test scripting technique where you put in your inputs and results in a table and use one test script for execution. This is often used in automated testing Equivalence partitioning: Another test design technique where you cover each partition at least once Hazard or risk analysis Test driven development: Writing the tests before the software Roles and responsibilitiesTester or QA Engineer Test Manager Test Analyst QA Lead Developer Product Owner - This guy is your best friend when it comes to acceptance criteria Scrum Master - If you're doing Agile, this is the one making sure you're doing it properly Product Manager QualificationsISTQB: In the UK these are the ones to get TMMi Professional: If the company is doing TMMi (I think this is quite common in the US but not so much in the games industry, more safety critical stuff) Wow, I didn't mean to write quite that much. Hope this helps you with your application

I'm hoping for some Comic Sans, Papyrus and some Curlz MT font choices. Beautiful. 

Something like this I suppose?

Okay, survival is looking awesome. Fair play to all those involved!

This is an everyday day occurrence in GTA online but when it's for real, things are a little more serious. Luckily only one person, the pilot of the plane which lost a wing, was injured when he suffered cuts as he ejected using an emergency chute the other managed to land the plane safely despite serious damage to the wing and propeller.

Here's my other half's new CAD rig: 
 

 
It was a really easy build to put together, 10/10 for Corsair's entry level Carbide 200R case. Thanks to Kyrie for the tip to go for AMD, it kept the rig within budget and Caitlin's happy maxing out the 8 cores rendering. Even though the graphics card is for CAD, most games run maxed out too with reasonable FPS!

Firstly I would like to thank Bufu, Proxima, Danne, Silver, Kyrie, Dave and everyone else who has helped build and support the Minecraft servers and everything that makes them tick.  We would still be at square one with our ideas a light at the end of a very long mineshaft.
 
So what have these Grand Minecraft Guru’s been working on?
 
A Hub World! “What is a hub world?!?!” The majority of people like to play survival, that is cool and to be perfectly honest is the meat of Minecraft and how most people fell in love with it.  However, some people to just like to build fabulous creations (Eye Candy) for them we created a world on which they can go nuts in “The Creative World”
 
In the old days (2012) we would have used two servers and you would have pointlessly needed to disconnect from one server and log into another one.  It was so last year!  Now we have added a floating bridge tying all the worlds of Ahoy-Minecraft together.
 
“All the worlds?” Yes All the worlds, rather than just have one world just to link 2 worlds together we are going to have many worlds and servers all linked into this one location.  Currently only the vanilla servers are working, but, you will soon see Parkour, Hunger Games and more on the way!  More information as we get closer to completion.
 
“Is that it?” Well, no! We are also going to be running events through the hubworld.  To access them we have another portal that will whisk you away!  To a specially created world for the event, sometimes the world will be flat grass or sometimes it will be beta testing for new game modes or special events of existing game modes!  Please, I would be happy to hear any of your suggestions please drop me a PM me on the site!
 
To get to the hubworld you can use “/spawn” which will take you to the hub world.  To get home again you will need to go to the survival world and make your way back. Ahoy+ Subscribers can use /home to go to their home if they have set a home up.  If you’re a member we will be making getting around easier in the future.
 
Any questions please ask any member of the Minecraft admin team or myself.  I am happy to declare the Hub World Officially Open and this wall of text over!  Happy Minecrafting!

Whoop whoop! I'm looking forward to some block bashing. Haven't played in ages.

I went up in a glider last year and was put off a little by a guy saying 'I wouldn't go up in these conditions', the parachute tutorial before hopping in and the bumpy ride on the way up. I did enjoy myself but I was happy to be back on two feet after the flight. This video has made me want to give gliding another chance.
